| Sumario: | The article discusses the warning issued by literary agent Sonia Land to book publishers about losing control over authors' digital backlists unless they make better royalty offer. Earlier, Land made public her decision to publish 100 of Catherine Cookson's novels as electronic books via her company Peach Publishing. This move bypasses Transworld, Cookson's physical publishers. Land also criticizes publishers for refusing to do print deals unless digital rights were incorporated. Meanwhile, some agents remain cautious about splitting from publishers.
